Sandy Neely, Ada Red Cross water safety instructor, updated the Ada Kiwanis Club about this summer's swim lesson program in Ada during the Kiwanis recent meeting.

"As in past years the Ada Learn-To Swim-Program is in need of aides to assist with the lessons," she told the Kiwanis members.

"Ages 12 and up, including adults are encouraged to sign up to help others learn swimming skills. As little as an hour each day of lessons is helpful," she added. "Lessons begin the week of July 11 for two weeks and continue Monday through Friday each week. Help is needed on deck for paperwork as well as in the water."

You do not need to be a good swimmer to help others, Neely said. A training session is from 9 to 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 5.

Neely thanked the Village of Ada for providing the pool facility and the Ada Kiwanis Club for sponsoring the lessons. "Please consider giving back to the Ada community. Volunteering is a very-worthwhile activity," she said.
